Comment (by anevilyak):
They're actually not identical, though it's not apparent outside of the
right circumstances: Local will show you *all* locally installed packages
regardless of source, while the other will filter against the selected
repository. In other words, if you manually install a package from say, a
USB stick or one that you handrolled yourself, or whatnot, that would be
visible in 'Local', but not elsewhere.
In any case, relying on a query would be problematic as it would only find
packages on queryable volumes, ergo it wouldn't find them on a USB stick,
or an NFS volume, or a non-indexed BFS like many of us have for
development performance reasons. As such I'd be a bit hesitant to use one
to display a supposedly all-encompassing list of local but not installed
packages. Furthermore it'd potentially be a bit on the slow side for
various reasons, as compared to the more or less instant response of the
other current list types.
